The story revolves around a complex relationship between a son, William Zimmermann, and his estranged mother, who he has not seen for many years.

of their mothers, revealing William's mixed feelings toward her. Meanwhile, we meet the mother, arriving with her belongings and an old servant. Their first encounter is awkward and filled with tension, highlighting their estrangement and individual struggles.
